Marvin,

The people I talk to tell me that digital cannot yet reach the quality of the larger format film cameras. I am still using film cameras, a Nikon 35mm for on the go and an old Mamiya 645 for some indoor work. My Mamiya is very old but the film it uses is brand new.

Word has it that there may be some new digitals on the way this year that may change the equation. Today I checked the retail price of a new Mamiya 645 auto focus and it was still in the $4000 range. I can't help think that these great cameras are going to go the way of the steam ship pretty soon. I don't think it's people like you or I that drive this market.
